Mrs." Wren is a member of the Dollmakers Guild of America and also furnished a number of old dolls and items for last year's Chin Up sale. In all, she plans to exhibit for sale about 25 dolls this year. One very old one was dressed in Spain by a Spanish nun and depicts a sister wearing a white Women Win Right To Serve on Texas Juries Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Women in Texas appeared today to have finally won the right to serve on juries. Returns showed that voters approved a proposed amend ment giving women the right to serve on juries. A similar proposed amend ment was beaten in 1946. The argument used against it then was the same one used this time: That women are too emotional to evaluate evidence properly and some testimony is unfit for them to hear. MONMOUTH STAYS DRY Monmouth, Ore. (U.R) Mon mouth voters decided to keep their town "dry" yesterday. habit with black veil, Mrs. Wren said. Another originally dressed old doll is a bisque in a Spanish American insurrection military costume; and one doll which was brought from Rome, Italy, is dressed as a Swiss guard. Other items which she plans to include for the sale are two very old woven willow doll cradles; a toy white piano deco rated elaborately with scroll work, angels and .floral designs; an old volume of animal stories and a "Raggedy Ann" book. Two McCall pattern manne quins made about 1915 will be in the sale collection. Of special interest to collectors will be a set of bustle-back dress hoops with front corset, which dates to 1871, the type worn by '"Scarlet" in Gone With the Wind, Mrs. Wren explained. Anfi-Dueling Vows Removed by Balloting Columbia, S. C..P) South Carolina voters apparently are ready, after 59 years, to turn their backs on the dangers of sword-play by office holders. Returns from a referendum held with yesterday's general election indicated adoption of a constitutional amendment to strike anti-dueling vows from the oath of office. Since 1895 when the present constitution was adopted, state officials taking oaths of office have had to swear they had nev er and would not duel while in office, and would not serve as seconds in duels.

U.R) Averell Harriman, a New Deal-Fair Deal Democrat, won the closest battle for the governorship in New York history today but the vot ers unexpectedly rejected one of his running mates, Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. Harriman defeated Republi can Sen. Irving Ives by a mar gin so narrow that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey immediately ordered all ballot machines and records in the state impounded for a public recanvass. GOP spokes men also hinted at possible court action. , Roosevelt Concedes Roosevelt, son of the former president, watched his early lead in the race for attorney general dwindle away during the night until, eight hours after the polls closed, he conceded the election to Republican Rep. Ja cob K. Javits. In the gubernatorial contest, it was an even closer race than when the elder Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected governor in 1928 by 25,000 votes. Returns from all but 27 of Nationalist Planes Bomb Communist Isle Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) Na tionalist Chinese planes pound ed Communist -held Toumen island today in a move to silence artillery which has. been shel ling Yikiangshan, northernmost anchor of Chiang Kai-shek's is land chain. Nationalist bombers raided tiny Toumen while an undis closed number of Chinese Com munist planes were attacking Tachen island just below Yi kiangshan. Toumen is situated 1V miles from Yikiangshan just off the Chekiang coast. New York's 10,436 election dist ricts gave Harriman 2,552,127 votes to 2,539,150 for Ives, or a plurality of only 12,977. Immediate Recheck Asked Republican State Chairman L. Judson Morhouse, hoping for a home-stretch miracle, got on the telephone early today ask ing GOP county chairmen throughout the state to make an immediate recheck of their vote tally. Dewey, who had campaigned hard to make Ives his successor, ordered police and sheriffs throughout the state to guard all voting records because of "the extreme closeness of the vote." Sheppard Jurors Will Visit Scene Cleveland (U.R) A char tered bus stood by today ready to take the Sheppard trial jury to the scene of the murder. In the courtroom lawyers argued about an 11-year-old morals case that has threatened to close Cleveland's big show before the curtain goes up. The first degree murder trial of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard re sumed after an election-day re cess with the defense challeng ing state to prove that juror No. 6 was convicted of lewd conduct in 1943. Assistant Prosecutor John J. Mahon has asked Common Pleas Judge Edward Blythin to dis qualify and dismiss the juror, James R. Manning, 38, a real estate salesman. Mahon, challegened Monday by defense attorney William J. Corrigan to produce the facts about Manning, had detective Milo Sabek ready to testify he arrested Manning in 1943 for oc cupying an automobile for lewd purposes with a 16year-old boy. I AVERELL HARRIMAN Wins in Close Race Harriman's victory ended 12 years of stewardship at Albany by Thomas E. Dewey, who twice used the New York gover norship as a springboard for un successful tries for the presi dency. Harriman quickly spiked speculation he might try to do the same. Mexico's Prisoner Happy Despite Big Debt To China : JHUM VD4 RrfrlgwlT 1.3 fit. Ik c OPEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT TILL 9 P.M. MARINE MARVAIR 220 W. Main St. Phone 2-4922 Mexico City (U.R) Panetsu Mow has been in jail two years, and a U.S. court has ruled that he owes the Chinese govern ment $6,368,503.47. "But I'm happy," he said. Mow has a comfortable cell, furnished with radio and books. His attractive blonde American secretary visits him twice week ly, and he hopes to be freed "very, very soon." Two years ago Mow, a Chin ese air force general, skipped across the border after one of history's biggest embezzlement scandals exploded in Washing ton. He was accused of lining his pockets with a large share of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's $25,000,000 fund for purchasing American warplanes. When Mexican secret agents caught up with him Aug. 9, 1952, Mow was living royally in the nearby resort town of Cuer navaca. His secretary, a former New York model, Agnes Kelley, now 33, was arrested with him. Opposed Corruption Mow readily admitted helping himself to "some" of the money but claimed he did it to fight against corruption in Chiang's Formosa government. He asked Mexico for political asylum. The documents that mean freedom or extradition for Mow now lie on President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines desk, after two years of shuffling through gov ernment offices. "I am confident Mexico will recognize my status as a politi cal refugee," Mdw said. "I have done nothing to reproach myself for, either legally or morally. "The Nationalist China gov ernment is persecuting me only because I darel fight corruption.." While waiting for a final de cision, however, Mow admits "things are fairly comfortable here much better than For mosa would be." Safer In Mexico Miss K.eiiey, wno nas Deen as sociated with Mow since 1947, brings the 50-year-old former general books, magazines, food, medicine and clothing. She was held eight days in the same guardhouse with Mow before she was released. Vowing to "stick around" to help him, she lives in a modest Mexico City apartment and spends Monday and Friday visit ing days .with the Chinese prisoner. Mow's chances of winning his fight against extradition took a jolt when Emilio Portes Gil, a former president, became legal representative of Nationalist China in the case, and a Wash ington, D.C. court later ruled that Chiang is entitled to collect $6,368,503.47, plus six per cent interest, from Mow. However, the one-time "fa ther, of the Chinese air force" said his Mexican attorneys have assured him that Mexico will not allow him to be extradited because the punishment for em bezzlement in Formosa is likely to be more severe than it would be in this country. He'd prob ably face a firing squad. "That's why I don't mind it too much here in prison," Mow said. Maryland Governor Assured Reelection Baltimore (U.R) Republi can Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin won easy reelection over Demo crat Harry C. Byrd, former pres ident of the state university, in a race in which school segrega tion was a potent issue. McKeldin, first GOP governor in the state's history to win' a second term, supported the Su preme Court's decision outlaw ing segregatin. Byrd said he favored giving local school boards power to maintain segre gation if they wished. LOGGER KILLER Roseburg (U.R) Jesse Donald Duncan, 24-year-old Roseburg logger, was killed instantly here Monday beneath a load of logs that rolled off a truck. His death was the 12th in Douglas county logging accidents this year. By Jupiter!.. .this really is real coffee I and gosh! the money you save ! "I will not be a candidate for the 'presidency in 1956," he said. "I'm for Adlai Stevenson." The defeat of Ives dealt a stunning political blow to Dewey, who had picked him. as his successor and masterminded his campaign. Dewey probably will have far less influence at the 1956 Republican nominating convention than he did in 1952, when he spearheaded the nom ination of President Eisenhower. Republicans Elect Congressman in Texas Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Repub licans elected their first Texas congressman in a regular elec-. tion Tuesday since the Recon struction, as Bruce Alger defeat ed Wallace Savage by a, narrow margin in the 5th Dallas County District. Three, other Republicans ran for Texas congressional seats but were beaten decisively. JOHN M.
